We are joining the group here... Just purchased a 2006 27 foot Triple E Regency SXL in almost new condition.

Looking forward to our new adventures after being truck camper people for six years.

Welcome

There is another EEE thread running now on these C forums, but I see you posted there.

I was not aware of them, but they look very nice.

Welcome from me as well. I believe I saw the other post as well. EEE definitely seems high end.

Welcome!
I checked out your new rig's web-site today, Very nice!, like all Canadian built RV's.
I can say this because I owned a Northern-Lite Truck camper that I just traded for my new Trail-Lite 251.
I too enjoy all the new found room in our B+ from owning a truck camper!
We wanted a dry bath that was large enough to shower in, a Class B+ seemed to be the best overall fit for our needs.

Thanks for the welcoming notes Bulmart, Cheeze1, and Mainer1. Looking forward to the new ride.

Put plates on it today, after driving it home for a couple hundred miles on Saturday with a temp plate. I was getting strange looks from passers by, and when we got home we realized the paper numbers we taped inside the back window were totally invisible through the smoked glass back there. DW was inside, waving to me, and I could not see her from outside at all.

We figured we wouldn't need an upper bed for several years as no grand kids even in the works yet, and wouldn't want them up there until they were older, maybe five or six anyway.

Liking the totally enclosable bedroom, off from the main living area.

Mike, trust me, you will like that bedroom alot, and the bathroom (loved by DW's) that can be used while underway!

Has anyone tested their Triple E's in really cold weather and proven the claim, will hold 70F at -5F outside? No freezing pipes of other complications?

How long can one expect to get from the double size 60 gallon propane tank.

thanks, Mike

Artum Snowbird - Congratulations from me as well on your like new purchase. Had to go looking for some more information and found their website Triple E RV.COM. Hope to hear more from you on your adventures.

Did you mean 60 liter propane tank?

Hi there Artum Snowbird. Glad to see another B+ driver in the group. We bought a Lexington 255 last fall with almost the same floor plan as your Triple E. That back bedroom and closet wall were the deciding factors for us. We are under cover in sub-zero weather here in upstate NY looking forward to many happy miles starting next spring. Hope to see you on the road sometime. By the way, I fired up the furnace a couple of weeks ago when it was about 15 degrees and was able to get the air temp up to about 45 or 50 in about an hour. I'm not sure about camping in that weather, however. It would take a lot of propane to do the job I'm sure.

I do indeed mean 60 litre...actually 66 litres.. I reckon that is about two 30 pound bottles. Most barbeques use 20 pound bottles, approximately.
